Sure, but here it's pretty much about the trade war between the two.
Neither side is just, and so seeing it as "China bad" is not a neutral outlook.
In the US-centric environment, standing up for neutrality is easy to confuse with standing up for China.
I wouldnt want to take a neutral stance here, if the USA is a 53 then China is a 87 on the badometer.
Here, opinions may vary, but that's outside the scope.
If you want my personal opinions, I would reverse the numbers. China is spreading authoritarian power and commits human rights violations primarily within its own confines and in some nearby regions like South China Sea, USA does it globally. Both are not great, though, and commonly I try to treat them with the same measuring stick.
The last time the USA claimed territory was at the end of WWII.
The last time it militarily intervened in claiming foreign land for an allied country despite the objection of nearly the entire world is right now.
That's not to mention an enormous amount of coups and military interventions throughout the last decades. US has sewn more chaos globally than any other country in the history of the world - all in its own interest, of course.
Are you referring to Ukraine? Because you would be wrong.
I'm referring to Israel.
Israel was actually a United Kingdom territory before becoming its own independent nation and NATO member.
NATO is a mutual self defense pact that forces its members to cooperate if one of them is attacked, which Israel unfortunately was before it began its genocide.
Israel is not part of NATO, this is factually wrong.
Oh wow you're right, til
Happy to share something new :)
